2010 Mazda 3 Sport D 150 2.2L Heavy oil · AXZ 1051

This vehicle presents an exceptionally clean MOT history, indicating a stable and well-maintained mechanical condition. The most recent test on 27 November 2025 at 170,395 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2017, suggesting the car has been kept in a roadworthy state without the recurring failures often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a 2010 model. The vehicle covered 11,457 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, and a further 11,457 miles by November 2025. A brief gap in testing occurred between February 2019 and November 2021, though the mileage increased by 14,752 miles during this period. The single failure on 19 November 2022 was resolved within six days, and the lack of recorded defects across nearly 82,000 miles of documented history is unusual for a high-mileage diesel. Despite the clean record, a buyer must manually inspect for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and rear subframe, as these are common failure points for this Mazda generation that may not always be flagged if the vehicle has had preventative undersealing. The high mileage of 170,395 miles necessitates a physical check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue. Check the clutch operation and dual-mass flywheel for excessive vibration, as these components typically wear out around this mileage regardless of MOT outcomes. While the record shows no brake or tyre advisories, the buyer should verify the remaining thickness of the brake discs and pads to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life.
